Greetings!
September and October have been hectic for me. I have definitely
come to the realization that I am not superwoman. I have so much to share with
you that I hardly know where to begin. First, I want to let you know that I
have not forgotten about you. I love writing this blog, and sharing the things,
that God has placed on my heart. My plan is to update my posts on a weekly
basis. However, as we all know, life has a way of changing our plans. I am in
the last year of Bible school, and for reasons I cannot begin to explain, I
decided to take six classes. I know…crazy, right? All I can say is that it made
sense at the time. It has been difficult getting a rhythm going, but I think
with God’s help, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Lately, God has been speaking to me about finishing well.
Take my classes for instance. In the beginning, my focus was on getting closer
to God, and learning more about what He expected of me. Then, somewhere along the line, I began to get
anxious about finishing. That had never been my focus before, so I began to look
at what had changed. Why was it so important to finish this year, and not next
year when I had planned to finish? What God showed me was that my priority had
shifted, and He was no longer my focus….finishing was.
Ouch! That hurt. I love the Lord with all of my heart, and
pleasing Him is why I do anything. So…finding out that He was no longer my focus
hit me deep. I do not like feeling as if
I have let God down. So, I have had to re-prioritize my goals. I know that it
is not about finishing…it is about finishing well. It is knowing that no matter what, when I put
God, first…everything else just falls into place.
Until next time…
